Book Review | Sanjeev Kumar’s life ably reconstructed
Deccan ChronicleEvery generation needs or rather has its own heroes. People of my vintage may remember Sanjeev Kumar as the Thakur from Sholay or even the husband seeing another man openly flirting with his wife in the evergreen Holi number, “Rang Barse Bhige Chunarwali…”. Starting from Gujarati theatre Haribhai Jariwala became Sanjeev Kumar and then “the Sanjeev Kumar”, the actor nonpareil. As he himself remarks somewhere, “While Sanjeev Kumar has many friends, Harihar Jethalal Jariwala has none.” The 357-page biography has been divided into eight sections with Section VI being the most interesting one. Someday, thanks to this biography, these three decades may eventually be turned into a riveting screenplay for a 10-part OTT series so that Sanjeev Kumar, the actor we all love, is never forgotten.
